dor Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Something has changed in my settings and I can't find where. I used to have 'view new content' by default and this would be displayed on the right in the light blue bar at the top and bottom. Now it shows 'unread content'. I can get 'view new content' by going to 'All activity/My activity streams/view new content but it reverts to 'unread content'. I've looked through my profile settings but can't see it. Where am I going wrong? Edited November 10, 2018 by dor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athy Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 My screen still displays "View New Content" in the position which you describe. If I press on it, a list of threads is displayed, with those which include unread content in bold type so that they may be easily identified.

Whilst I can click 'View new content" on the drop-down list from the 'activity' button and get 'view new content' on the left hand side of the bar, it still shows "unread content" on the right. Then it goes back to unread content. 4 hours ago, Athy said: My screen still displays "View New Content" in the position which you describe.

Now it only shows 'unread contact on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_fincher Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 I recall that as part of one of the forum software updates some time back, view new content" stopped doing what it had previously done, and there was much debate about it. Eventually posts emerged showing how to customise a button for your account, to replicate the former behaviour, (we all had to do this individually, if we wanted it back the way it used to be, I think). It it possible you had this customisation, but that it has somehow got lost? If so a search to check that you still have what was prescribed then might be in order.
